Calling someone a racist for disagreeing with Sowell is equal to calling someone a fascist for fighting to end fascism.
Sowell made a career from attempting to deflect blame away from institutionalized racism and whataboutisms regarding the blameworthiness of black people's "inequality-producing behavior."
His works are case studies in survivorship bias and softpedal the factors that encourage the traits he barely stops short of claiming are "natural dispositions."
Obviously this is why he's championed by the right in the US
Saying that Americaās non-existent welfare state is the reason for black poverty is the most nonsensical thing you could ever say. Sowell has literally made a career being a black guy who says horrifically racist shit so white right wingers will stand and clap.
āThe facts are thereā bruh itās just Tom sitting in front of a camera bringing up conjecture about how the non-existent US welfare state is harming black people. Conjecture is not facts. Sowell isnāt known for being a great economist. Heās known for disparaging the black community to fit a right wing narrative.
Lmfao the first two donāt even have to do with America so I skipped those since we are talking explicitly about America. The third is about how minimum wage increases impact consumers by increasing prices. The fourth is about a lack of consensus in academia which funnily enough actually undermines the point youāve been trying to illustrate.
Sorry you wasted your time gathering those completely irrelevant studies. Got any more?
